Short trail that runs between Moonlight, and San Tan. Can be ridden in either direction, but starting from the moonlight is a little more fun since the San Tan side has a steeper climb coming in. A little rocky, but definitely rideable by just about anyone. Watch for horses, and bikes coming the other way.

      Love this short trail. It's a must ride out here and a great confidence builder for newer riders.
      Pros: Can be ridden both directions. West to east from Moonlight to SanTan has a nice downhill section to end it.
      Cons: A lot of horse traffic usually coming east to west so be careful and yield.
